Bread Bakery BUSINESS PLAN

BREADCRAFTER

8900 Green Lake Road Port Hanover, Michigan, 49333

This business plan is a tightly constructed, succinct consideration of all factors relevant to launching this bakery. From rent charges to competition and seasonal changes to costs per loaf, this plan hasn't left anything out...all without being overly verbose. This exemplary plan is very focused and complete, which will help the business stay on course.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The company.

Awareness of high quality baked goods is on the rise. Good bread is a rare combination of nutrition, convenience, and luxury. Today's consumer has less time to create wholesome, handmade bread, but increasingly appreciates the nutritional and sensory benefits it provides. Good bread provides fiber and carbohydrates in a convenient, low fat form that is portable and delicious. Good bread never goes out of style.

Breadcrafter will produce and sell high quality, handmade breads to the residents and tourists of Port Hanover and Freeman County. The Company will focus on European Style; naturally leavened breads and baguettes made with high quality ingredients. Breads will be baked and sold at a storefront facility using a 4 deck, steam injected bread oven. Labor saving devices will allow the proprietor to run the entire operation with the help of two part time, seasonal employees.

Breadcrafter's main competition includes a health food store, three pastry shops and three supermarkets in the Port Hanover area. Its advantage lies in the high quality of its products due to specialization and artisan manufacturing. The main marketing focus will be an eye catching sign, the scent of fresh bread wafting out of the storefront, and periodic printed advertisements. The company will sample its products liberally.

After establishing the operation, the company will explore the possibility of making takeout sandwiches. Delivering wholesale bread and baked goods to area restaurants and specialtyretailers will also be considered.

The company is being founded by Kevin Richards, an artisan baker currently baking breads and pastries for Toothsome Foods Company in Port Hanover, Michigan. Kevin has spent the last two years building the TFC program from the ground up. His wife Renee Richars is also a bread baker, having baked for one year at the Grainery Food Co-op, Breadcrafter's chief competitor. Together they bring a wealth of practical experience and a realistic market sense to the company.

Breadcrafter is currently seeking $70,000 in loans to get the business underway. Major costs include equipment purchases, shop rent, ingredient purchases, site modifications, and marketing, which total $61,000. Projected sales for the first three months, based on market and competition studies, will total $41,087. Total operating expenses and cost of sales will leave an average profit of $4,740 per month.

Opening day is scheduled for July 1st, 1996. While Breadcrafter has the potential for high growth, the first three years will be spent establishing company financial stability and increasing market share.

Breadcrafter will be created to serve the Port Hanover community by exploiting the need for a good bread bakery. It will offer a variety of high quality, European and American style artisan breads, baked fresh in its storefront bakery.

The company's immediate goals are to achieve start up by July 1st, 1996, in time to capitalize on the lucrative summer tourist season. It will start with the proprietor, Kevin Richards, as baker and manager with the help of two part time employees. The company should gross over $100,000 in its first year. Long term goals include the addition of a takeout sandwich store to the storefront and wholesale bread sales within one year.

Kevin Richards, the proprietor and baker, is the creator of Breadcrafter. For four years, he has been employed at Toothsome Foods Company, a specialty foods manufacturer in Port Hanover, Michigan. His experience as a Production Supervisor and as a Research & Development Cook bring a sense of production realities and technical savvy to the company. As the driving force behind TFC's current Handmade Bread program, Kevin has two years practical experience with sourdough breads. He holds a BA in English Literature from the University of Michigan.

Renee Richards, Kevin's wife, also has bread baking experience. She baked bread at the Grainery Food Co-op in Port Hanover, Michigan for one year, and she contributes a keen sense of the bread market. She also contributes retail sales experience accrued through several retail jobs around Port Hanover.

The company is in the process of securing $70,000 in start up financing.

Breadcrafter's breads will stand out from the competition due to their uniqueness and outstanding quality. Most of the breads are European in style, including Sourdough, Miche (a traditional French whole wheat bread), and Sourdough Rye. These breads are made by the sourdough method which uses no added yeast. This method imparts a rich flavor, which can be tangy or mild, as well as a toothsome inner crumb and a crackly crust. By using this method, a skilled baker can create truly delicious breads without added fats or sugars, making many of Breadcrafter's products 100% fat free. Sourdough breads also have an extended shelf life, remaining fresh for days without the use of preservatives. Breadcrafter will also offer specialty breads, which will be made in the sourdough way with the addition of such luxurious ingredients as Parmagian cheese with fresh ground pepper and dried Michigan cherries with roasted pecans. Spent Grain Bread, made with barley leftover from beer brewing, is another unique product that Breadcrafter will offer. Two varieties of French style baguettes will be offered fresh daily, a high demand product that is available nowhere else in the area. Breadcrafter will also produce White and Wheat Sandwich Breads with soft crust and a tender crumb for traditional American Style sandwiches. As the needs of the customer change, so will the lineup of Breadcrafter's products. The bakery equipment is chosen with versatility in mind.

After establishing the business, Breadcrafter will research the possibility of producing sandwiches to increase revenues. This investment would require approximately $1500.00 for the purchase of equipment and ingredients. The company will also pursue wholesale contracts. Toothsome Foods Company has indicated interest in a contract to produce two Christmas products on a per loaf basis, Cherry Chocolate Fruitcake and Midwest Christmas Stollen. These products can help generate revenues in the slower Autumn months. The proprietor will also consider producing some of Toothsome Foods' current lineup of Handmade Breads on a wholesale basis.

A self serve beverage cooler filled with soft drinks will also help increase revenues, as will the sale of fresh brewed coffee.

Production of sellable breads is projected to begin on July 1st 1996. Raw ingredients will be ordered for twice a month delivery from North Farm Co-op and Sysco Inc., at which time a two week production schedule will be drawn up by Kevin Richards, the proprietor/baker. Ingredients will be stored in a dry storage area and in a walk in cooler (already on the proposed premises). Rent of the facility will be $1,050 per month with utility costs running approximately $725/month.

Scheduling will begin with three large bakes per week (MWF) and two small bakes (T,TH). Due to the extended shelf life of sourdough breads, product can be sold for two days before staling. Each bake day the baker will bake breads in a deck oven. The oven provides intense, even heat and a controllable amount of steam injection, allowing tremendous control of crust crispness. Everything from soft white sandwich breads to thick crusted, dense savory breads to sweet baked goods can be perfectly baked in this oven. While breads are baking, the baker will begin mixing the long fermenting doughs to be baked off the next day. Labor saving equipment including a dough divider and a bread moulder makes this possible. Hot breads will begin coming out of theoven by 7:00 AM, and all baking will be finished by 10:00 AM.

The storefront will open at 9:00 AM and close at 6:00 PM Monday through Friday. Saturday hours will be 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM for sales only. Part time employees will work the counter and assist with store maintenance during peak hours while the baker is baking. A beverage cooler and coffee machine will encourage convenience sales at the register.

Breadcrafter will economize on bookkeeping costs by handling its payroll duties in house. Year end bookkeeping will be handled by a professional accountant.

The specialty bread market is about to experience enormous growth. Throughout the country small bakeries are appearing at an increasing rate. Chain stores, such as Great Harvest Bread Company, are experiencing tremendous growth by capitalizing on the wholesome appeal of fresh baked loaves. According to the Bread Baker's Guild of America, a trade organization, membership increased 40% between 1994 and 1995. As people become more aware of its healthy nutritional profile, good bread becomes even more attractive.

There is currently only one source for artisan breads in Port Hanover, Toothsome Foods Company, where the proprietor learned to bake. Market tests performed in the summer of 1995 by Toothsome Foods Company showed strong demand for the product, no price resistance and the need for a more frequent and visible presence. As a pilot program with no promotion in the summer of 1995, Toothsome Foods Company was able to sell all available loaves (20 30 per bake, two bakes per week) all summer long. Even without the benefit of window signage or a consistent delivery schedule, Kevin Richards and TFC have developed a loyal following of regular buyers that continues to grow.

The Millwright Bakery in Maple, MI., a similar operation to Breadcrafter, currently bakes 200- 700 loaves a day for wholesale in the Connor City Area. This bakery has been open since November 1995 and has not yet experienced a summer tourist influx. It has stopped taking on new accounts for fear of exceeding its production capacity during that season. Millwright finds the Port Hanover area very attractive, but delivery from Maple is impractical. This summer season will bring Millwright a large influx of cash, and they will almost certainly consider establishing a bakery in Port Hanover if none yet exists.

Breadcrafter will set up its storefront bakery in the Green Lake Shopping Center. The center is conveniently located on one of the busiest arteries to and from Port Hanover. It has plenty of parking and is easily accessible from the road. The shopping center currently contains a successful, higher end grocery store, a successful liquor convenience store, and a donut bakery that also sells country clutter handicrafts. The shopping center is currently a destination for people seeking gourmet foods. These people will appreciate Breadcrafter's products. There is very little market overlap between Breadcrafter and the donut shop, and the two could exist in synergy. Pricing of artisan type breads around Port Hanover currently ranges from $2.50 per loaf (GraineryWhole Wheat) to $5.95 per loaf (Toothsome Foods Pesto Bread). Breadcrafter's products will range in price from $2.25 (Sourdough Baguette) to $4.95 (Pepper Parmesan Loaf).

COMPETITION

Grainery food co-op.

Breadcrafter's primary competitor. The Grainery currently has a customer base that regularly buys whole grain breads. These customers are interested in healthy foods, and they will appreciate the attractive nutritional profile of our products. Due to undercapitalization, the Grainery will have trouble responding to the quality advantage our equipment and methods provides. Many potential customers are reluctant to patronize the Grainery, perceiving its patrons and employees as "too liberal". True or not, these customers may feel more comfortable at Breadcrafter. Renee Richards, the proprietor's wife, was formerly a Grainery bread baker. She knows their business well.

Helmut's Pastry Shop

An established bakery specializing in pastries and doughnuts. They have a capable facility. Due to heavy investment in pastry equipment and relatively small bread sales, they are unlikely to react strongly to our presence.

Twin's Bakery

Very similar to Helmut's.

The Coffee Mug

Specializing in donuts, pastries, and country clutter handicrafts. They sell some lower quality breads. Major risk is their location, right next door to Breadcrafter's prospective site. This risk could also be an asset, bringing bakery customers in search of better bread to Breadcrafter.

Fred's Markets

Large supermarket with in store bakery. Fred's offers nonscratch, relatively low quality breads and pastries at very low prices. Their largest advantage, other than price, is the convenience of one stop shopping. There is some possibility of future wholesale distribution of our products.

Daley's Supermarkets

Very similar to Fred's

Taylor's

Similar to Fred's and Daley's, but smaller. Higher possibility of future wholesale distribution.

Toothsome Foods Company

Downtown specialty foods retailer. Current employer of Breadcrafter's proprietor. TFC has a small, undercapitalized bread program Due to the absence of the baker, they are unlikely to compete. Proprietor will offer to buy some of the bakery equipment. Future wholesale distribution of contract products is a strong possibility.

Breadcrafter's production capacity will be an advantage over the specialty stores. Product specialization will be an advantage over the pastry shops and supermarkets. Breadcrafter's product quality will be an advantage over all local competitors.

Breadcrafter will sell its products to new and repeat customers from its storefront in the Green Lake Shopping Center, located on the busy stretch of M-17 between Port Hanover and Crescent Heights, Michigan. A large, tasteful, storefront sign will catch the attention of passing motorists. The smell of bread as it comes from the oven will bring customers in from the parking lot. Breadcrafter will offer a sample of fresh baked bread to anyone who comes into the store.

Breadcrafter's products will be truly unique in the marketplace. The look, feel and taste of its breads, when compared with the competition, will underscore their quality and value. Many of the products, such as Pepper Parmesan Bread and Sourdough Baguettes, will not be available anywhere else. Breadcrafter will also actively encourage customer satisfaction. Our product line will react to the needs and desires of the customer, thereby encouraging repeat and word of mouth sales. As a small hands on facility Breadcrafter will have the freedom to react quickly and accurately to changes in the market. Due to its uniqueness and convenient location, Breadcrafter will become a destination for food lovers.

Printed advertisements, which will run opening week, will highlight bread as an everyday product, to be purchased fresh on a weekly or daily basis. More printed advertisements will run Labor Day weekend and during the Christmas season. Costs for these advertisements will be approximately $200 each.

The major risk to any Port Hanover area retail operation is the seasonality of the customer base. Breadcrafter will address this problem by opening at the height of the lucrative summer season. This will give the company a good supply of working capital to help with the startup period. The company will market itself primarily to the year round population. Contract products prepared for Toothsome Foods Company will bring in cash during the slow fall season. Unless strong demand shows a need, labor will be eliminated in the slower seasons and advertising will be minimal. Depending on available cash after Christmas, Breadcrafter will contemplate adding a sandwich bar to serve local shoppers and employees.

Breadcrafter will budget $9,800 in cash reserves as a cushion to help weather the startup period.

(Personal Income Statement removed for privacy.)

Start Up Costs

The compnay is in the process of securing financing for startup. The proprietor currently has $20,000 from private sources and is seeking $50,000 in additional bank loans.

OPERATING COSTS

Two part time employees will be hired to start working on opening day. They will be retained until Labor Day weekend unless strong sales show a further need for them. In the fall, winter and spring, the proprietor and his wife will be the only staff required. Employees will be paid $5.50 per hour, and will work a combined total of 30 hours per week. Wage expenditures will be $707.00 a month with additional payroll taxes running $71.00, for a total expenditure of$778.00.

The Green Lake storefront currently under consideration rents for $1050 a month.

Heat and Electric bills for Jordan Galleria, a downtown storefront of approximately the same dimensions required by Breadcrafter, pays $225.00 at the height of the winter heat season. Taking into account walk in and reach in cooler use, a figure of $350.00 is a reasonable estimated monthly average.

The bread oven will be run four hours per day on busy bake days. Conversations with other bakery owners have indicated that a 4 deck oven consumes $4 of gas per hour, for a total of $343.00 per month at maximum capacity.

A total figure of $725.00 per month is a reasonable estimated monthly average.

Advertising

Breadcrafter will run an advertisement in the Port Hanover News Review during opening week. Another advertisement will run Labor Day weekend. Total advertisement expenditures will run $200 per month. The News Review is known to do spotlight stories on new Port Hanover businesses and Breadcrafter will take advantage of this publicity.

Advertising expenditures will be kept to a minimum in the fall, winter and spring. The company will rely on community service functions, liberal sampling, and word of mouth to reach new customers.

Repair and Maintenance

The estimated maintenance cost for the first month is $500.00. From there it gradually diminishes to $200 a month for the remainder of the year. After the first of the year maintenance estimates are reduced to $100 a month.

A Business Owner's Policy, covering contents, liability, and some loss of income, will cost $400 $500 a year for Breadcrafter, as quoted by Sam Williams of Port Hanover Insurance. Worker's Comp will run $2.25 for every $100 paid. Breadcrafter has budgeted $50 a month in general insurance and $20 a month in Worker's Comp. Health Insurance premiums for the proprietor and his family will run $250 per month.

Taxes and Licenses

The company has budgeted $150 a month on miscellaneous taxes and licenses.

General Supplies

General supplies will consist mainly of bread bags which cost $.05 each for paper and $.03 each for plastic. Bag material, which affects the quality of the crust in storage, will be chosen by the customer. These prices have been included in the cost of sale of each loaf. Cleaning and maintenance supplies will total no more than $50 per month. Breadcrafter has budgeted $125 per month as a conservative figure.

Professional Fees

Professional fees after startup will be kept to a minimum. The proprietor will perform all the necessary filing and bookkeeping chores required except year end tax filing and calculation of depreciation. The company has budgeted $325 in January and

$325 in March to cover these needs.

Miscellaneous

Breadcrafter has budgeted $120 per month to cover miscellaneous expenses.

Jolly's Java and Bakery

Executive summary executive summary is a brief introduction to your business plan. it describes your business, the problem that it solves, your target market, and financial highlights.">, opportunity.

There is a shortage of coffee spots where customers can get high quality coffee and freshly baked pastries in a higher income market in Washington state.

JJB offers a broad range of coffee and espresso products, all from high quality imported coffee beans. JJB caters to all of its customers by providing each customer coffee and espresso products made to suit the customer, down to the smallest detail.

Because Washington has a cool climate for eight months out of the year, hot coffee products are very much in demand. During the remaining warmer four months of the year, iced coffee products are in significantly high demand, along with a slower but consistent demand for hot coffee products. Much of the day’s activity occurs in the morning hours before ten a.m., with a relatively steady flow for the remainder of the day.

Competition

Competition in the local area is somewhat sparse and does not provide nearly the level of product quality and customer service as JJB. Local customers are looking for a high quality product in a relaxing atmosphere. They desire a unique, classy experience.

JJB is a bakery and coffee shop managed by two partners. These partners represent sales/management and finance/administration areas, respectively. The partners will provide funding from their own savings, which will cover start-up expenses and provide a financial cushion for the first months of operation.

Expectations

JJB anticipates sales as shown below during the three years of the plan. JJB should break even by the fourth month of its operation as it steadily increases its sales. Profits for this time period are expected to be relatively low in the first two years, increasing somewhat in the third. We are projecting investment of $140,000 from the two founders.

Financial Highlights by Year

Financing needed.

Startup requirements:

• Startup expenses of $64K including $3K legal, $20K location premises renovation, $40K expensed equipment, and $1K other. These show up as negative retained earnings in the initial balance because they are incurred before launch.
• Starting cash in the bank of $70K. (in initial balance)
• Other current assets of $12K (in initial balance)
• Long-term assets of $65 (in initial balance)
• $110K initial investment from founders (Shows up in initial balance as Paid-in Capital.)
• $100K 10-year loan from SBA (in initial balance)
• $1K in accounts payable at startup. (in initial balance)

Problem & Solution

Problem worth solving.

There is a shortage of coffee spots where customers can get high-quality coffee and freshly baked pastries in a higher income market in the southwest area of Washington state. 

Our Solution

JJB offers a broad range of coffee and espresso products, all from high-quality Columbian grown imported coffee beans. JJB caters to all of its customers by providing each customer coffee and espresso products made to suit the customer, down to the smallest detail.

Target Market

Market size & segments.

JJB focuses on the middle- and upper-income markets. These market segments consume the majority of coffee and espresso products.

Local Residents

JJB wants to establish a large regular customer base. This will establish a healthy, consistent revenue base to ensure the stability of the business.

Tourist traffic comprises approximately 35% of the revenues. High visibility and competitive products and service are critical to capture this segment of the market.

Current Alternatives

Leading competitors purchase and roast high quality, whole-bean coffees and, along with Italian-style espresso beverages, cold-blended beverages, a variety of pastries and confections, coffee-related accessories and equipment, and a line of premium teas, sell these items primarily through company-operated retail stores. In addition to sales through company-operated retail stores, leading competitors sell coffee and tea products through other channels of distribution (specialty operations).

Larger chains vary their product mix depending upon the size of each store and its location. Larger stores carry a broad selection of whole bean coffees in various sizes and types of packaging, as well as an assortment of coffee- and espresso-making equipment and accessories such as coffee grinders, coffee makers, espresso machines, coffee filters, storage containers, travel tumblers and mugs. Smaller stores and kiosks typically sell a full line of coffee beverages, a more limited selection of whole-bean coffees, and a few accessories such as travel tumblers and logo mugs. According to the most recent data available, industry retail sales mix by product type was approximately 73% beverages, 14% food items, eight percent whole-bean coffees, and five percent coffee-making equipment and accessories.

Our Advantages

The retail coffee industry in the U.S. has recently experienced rapid growth. The cool marine climate in southwest Washington stimulates consumption of hot beverages throughout the year.

JJB wants to establish a large regular customer base, and will therefore concentrate its business and marketing on local residents, which will be the dominant target market. This will establish a healthy, consistent revenue base to ensure stability of the business. In addition, tourist traffic is expected to comprise approximately 35% of the revenues. High visibility and competitive products and service are critical to capture this segment of the market.

Keys to Success

Keys to success for JJB will include:

Providing the highest quality product with personal customer service.

• Competitive pricing.

Marketing & Sales

Marketing plan.

Our marketing is rooted in the quality of the experience, to generate good word of mouth and repeat visits. That should generate good reviews on Yelp and Google Maps and similar review platforms. 

Of course we will pay attention to reviews and work with promotions to encourage reviews without being too blatant about it. 

We will also keep an up-to-date Facebook page and Twitter persona with regularly updated content. We will be slow to do promotions over social media, emphasizing useful content instead. Some of that will include community content. 

Locations & Facilities

JJB wants to establish a large regular customer base, and will therefore concentrate its business and marketing on local residents, which will be the dominant target market. This will establish a healthy, consistent revenue base to ensure the stability of the business. In addition, tourist traffic is expected to comprise approximately 35% of the revenues. High visibility and competitive products and service are critical to capture this segment of the market. JJB will have a storefront that is easily accessible from 2 different highways. 

Milestones & Metrics

Milestones table, key metrics.

Of course, the main metrics are the obvious ones: sales, direct, costs, expenses, and cash flow. But we will also be watching for units, customers, and social media metrics including Facebook likes and Twitter follows.  

Ownership & Structure

JJB is incorporated in the state of Washington. It is equally owned and managed by its two partners.

The company intends to hire two full-time  managers, one pastry chef and 3 part-time baristas to handle customer service and day to day operations.

Ask yourself if your business needs it, will be generating profit even after you have fully paid for it, or will it make running your business more convenient?
• Determine when it is time to brand your business. You can’t spend money just to put a brand on your stuff just yet, but you will surely but surely be able to do that in the long run. Using a brown paper bag for your purchases is fine. You don’t have to rush into branding everything.
• many businesses get known by word-of-mouth and this is because people know that the business is there and where they can find it. In building your client base, you should let your neighborhood know of the products you offer.

With this you can have both customers who pay with cash and those who pay with their cards. being flexible will be good for your business and will allow you to earn even better.
• Always choose quality over savings. Your customers will not be coming back because you are able to save, but they will be coming back because you provide high-quality products. For sure they would choose that over savings, too. Good ratings or reviews from customers will have more people coming into your business to try out what you are offering. Wouldn’t you earn more that way?

Remember these tips if you need help with making your bakery business plan effective. You will definitely be able to make some changes that will help make your business plan better.

Starting a Bakery Business Plan (PDF)

A bakery can also be known as a pastry shop or a confectionary. When dealing with the bakery industry we are looking at products such as bread, cakes, pastries, cookies, muffins, and pies, amongst others. It is basically food products baked from flour or other grain meals. A bakery business is a very profitable venture if operated efficiently. It is not enough to be able to make good bread or cakes. A bakery business is an enterprise that requires resources and planning. The quality of your output is important. However, you also have to create an environment within which customers can access your products at great prices. At the highest level, the bakery business is capable of producing incredible profits and prestige. This article will outline how to start the bakery business, and the bakery business plan – PDF, Word and Excel.

Above all you should develop a passion for the enterprise given the hard work that is required of you. The great thing about this model is the possibility of transitioning from other corporate endeavors straight into bakery. Moreover, you can do it as a side business without hindering your other profession. The range of possibilities includes a family-owned and run home business. You can also become a major corporate entity that caters for major events.

Market Research

Before you go further along with the bakery business this must be your primary focus. Who do you intend to cater for? This question is your launch pad into ultimately coming up with a comprehensive marketing strategy for your bakery business. In fact, insights from your market research have ripple effects towards all other components in setting up the bakery business. You must appreciate the fact that you must niche which entails targeting a particular market. It’s not that easy to cater for the whole breadth of the market because that might be unsustainable due to high costs. Therefore you must be diligent enough to figure out which specific portion of the market you’ll target. When conducting market research you must closely study people’s eating out behaviours, check the age range dynamics and also analyse the levels of income of your prospective target market. This is why it is important to have a good bakery business plan before you start this business.

Location and Premises

This here is a component that’ll be greatly informed by your target market. You want a scenario where your bakery store is ideally located at a spot characterised by high volume vehicle and foot traffic. It shouldn’t just be about traffic only though; it must be close to or in an area where your intended customers are abundantly found. Another vital feature to consider is the availability of adequate and secure parking space and easy access to mass transportation. The best approach to take is to locate your bakery shop in an area close to other businesses that can lead to customer inflows for you. For instance, locating it at a shopping centre, shopping mall or central business district (CBD) creates prospects of regular customer inflows. The premises should be large enough to accommodate all your equipment, offices, and space for customers. Your bakery business plan should cater for the costs of buying or leasing the premises.

Competitive Analysis

There are already established bakeries wherever you might think to start a bakery business. There are also new and upcoming bakeries as well. Thus you cannot turn a blind eye to competition. You have to study all your competitors to figure out their business profiles. This entails their products and services, market shares, distribution network, operating times, payment methods, customer segments, and so on. A thorough look into all this shows you loopholes and market gaps.

You have to seek to build a bakery business that has several differentiators. Tweaking operating hours can become one of your differentiators. A strategic location can also be a differentiator. It could be a unique product range that can differentiate you. Maybe it could be allowing online orders, payments and offering home deliveries. All these aspects are best figured out after studying your competitors. Remember, consumers are always looking for convenience and cost savings.

Equipment for a Bakery Business

The bakery will require a variety of equipment. The fixed items will delve a lot into your initial capital outlay. This is because you will typically purchase big ticket items such as ovens, fridges, mixers, bakeware, bread slicers, display case and utensils. The costs of purchasing the bakery equipment should be included in your bakery shop business plan. You may consider purchasing preowned equipment as a way of cutting down your startup costs.

Permits/Licenses, Insurance & Business Bank Account

Permits/licenses.

The first thing is to register your bakery business. After that you must get properly licensed. A bakery business is in the food industry. In the food industry there are strict regulatory frameworks to adhere to. You will need to apply for a business license from the relevant often local (municipal) authorities. Prior to getting that food license your earmarked premises will be thoroughly inspected. It varies from place to place but there will be a long list of things your premises must have or satisfy. Some of the critical areas inspected or inspected for are drainage system, waste management system, ventilation system, sanitary facilities, and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), amongst others.

Insurance & Business Bank Account

There are so many things that could go wrong in a bakery. Important assets can get damaged or destroyed. There are several risks that can affect workers as well. The smartest thing to do is to get insured. Contact your nearest, reputable insurance provider and get the necessary guidance. This might seem unnecessary but when something happens in the future you will be glad you got insured.

Then buttress insurance by opening a business bank account for your bakery business. It helps make financial management easier. Most importantly it will help separate your personal finances from those of your bakery business. In the event something catastrophic happens with the bakery business, it will sink alone. It will not sink with you. This is a principle in financial literacy many people in business are yet to grasp.

Bakery products

There are so many different types of bakery businesses that you may want to explore. Your decisions are determined by four primary considerations:

• The amount of capital that you have
• Your skills and competencies
• The business aims, goals and objectives
• The tastes and preferences of your customers

Each of these factors can change throughout the planning and implementation process for the bakery business. Therefore, you need to constantly adjust your bakery business and product selection accordingly. You have a number of options and niches that might just suit your client base. Examples of products that your bakery can offer include bread, muffins, rolls, cakes, donuts, buns, pizza, tortillas, cookies, biscuits, pies, bagels, scones among others. The products you are going to offer should be included in your bakery business plan.

Staff And Management

The effective running of a bakery business requires a significant workforce. As a rule of thumb, your bakery staffing needs are always informed by your intended scale of operations. Some of the key areas in this business are operations management, financial management and inventory management. At the minimum you need pastry chefs, waiters, cashiers and logistics personell. Other required staff include accountants, supervisors, security team, stock controllers and managers, though this depends on the size of your bakery.

Your bakery should have sufficient number of well trained staff. This is because repeat purchases and ever-growing customer inflows are a product of swift and quality service from the staff. Having a small or skeletal staff makes it very difficult to provide swift service. Remember we are living in a fast-paced world where people don’t want to be kept waiting for too long. The salaries of all your employees must be catered for in the bakery store business plan.

Marketing Plan

An official launch is important.

Kick-starting your bakery business can get a boost from doing an official launch. This follows that you would have set up a website and social media accounts. This also follows that you would have been active and engaging with people online and on the ground. All that must culminate into an official launch along with a press release. You can offer free samples on the day as well. Adorn the place and make it lively on the day such that it attracts people. People generally love new outlets, new offerings, and free food. Your initial pricing should be penetration pricing. This means you price lesser than existing players to lure customers to your business. Make the most out of the official launch.

Used A Blended Marketing Approach (Offline And Online)

Afterwards the focus becomes building your audience online. By the way, incorporating online ordering and payments on your website will be a game-changer. Regularly post useful, fun, and informative content daily. Conduct online competitions with giveaways of your products or branded items. All your promotional material, be it physical or virtual, must be high definition. That is a must in the food industry if you want your marketing material to stand out. If your scale of operation is substantial consider potential bulk, recurring clients. Engage them with proposals on how you can be their supplier. These can be companies, food outlets, schools, and the like.

The market for bakery is huge and ever increasing. There is always huge demand of different types of  baked goods. The market for a bakery include individuals, families, hotels, guest houses , supermarkets, companies and organizations. Your bakery should have fair prices that keeps you in business. Do not be tempted to compromise on quality as a means of correcting errors in your budgeting process. Those entrepreneurs that are running local family businesses should be careful about giving discounts to loved ones. This is because they could end up destroying the bakery business before it gets a chance to establish itself. A proper marketing strategy should be included in the bakery business plan.

Keys To Profitability

Your choice of location is a major part of making your bakery business profitable. You ideally need a spot that has high human and vehicle traffic. If that is not possible then the important key becomes your distribution network. The other key is to cultivate a huge clientele mostly comprised of bulk and recurring customers. These are customers who require your products in bulk daily. Economies of scale are a major aspect; scale your operations sooner. Identify your major costs and manage, preferably lessen them. For instance, 60 percent of costs may go to raw materials and remuneration. Your product range must be diversified and comprehensive but informed by market demand. This will ensure you always have and sell fast-moving products. This is one of the best food industry businesses you can start. There is vast room to diversify. You can scale and can pivot if needs be. Best of all, the market for baked foods is always there.

Some criticism has been directed towards the Total Monte Carlo method because experimental information has not been taken into account in a statistically well-founded manner. In this work, a Bayesian calibration method is implemented by assigning weights to the random nuclear data files and the method is illustratively applied to a few applications. In most of the considered cases, the estimated nuclear data uncertainty is reduced and the central values are significantly shifted. The study suggests that the method can be applied both to estimate uncertainties in a more justified way and in the search for better central values. Some improvements are however necessary; for example, the treatment of outliers and cross-experimental correlations should be more rigorous and random files that are intended to be prior files should be generated.

Property taxes are an important revenue source for subnational governments. Across sub-Saharan Africa collection of property taxes is made up of several distinct processes, some situated at the national level, and some at the local level. Thus, inter-organisational cooperation and institution-based trust are essential for the successful implementation of property taxation. Because of the common centre-local tensions, there is now widespread acknowledgement that in sub-Saharan Africa property tax systems are not leading to the desired cycles of public investment and local government empowerment (R. W. Bahl and Bird 2013; R. W. Bahl, Martinez-Vazquez, and Youngman 2008; Cirolia and Mizes 2019; Collier 2016). Recent experiences in Kenya, including the adoption of a new constitution in 2010 that radically devolved responsibility to county governments, provides a novel opportunity to examine some of the challenges and opportunities facing property taxation in sub-Saharan Africa. The new ...
